Building your activity: Event details

We have added a new section in the Design and Build dropdown menu called Event details. 

This section is important because:

• The title / description / date / time entered here feeds into a .ics calendar link (this link is available on your dashboard in a new countdown to event block for you to share, and on the thanks page of the registration form for the registrants).
• The date and time entered will automatically populate on the overview page, the thanks page, and on your dashboard.
• It is used by the countdown to event block component on the dashboard. You can also edit the event date and/or time as well as download a .ics calendar link directly from the dashboard.

Respondent journey is tailored for event registrations

Overview page

• Event date and time auto-populates in the sidebar (when added to Event details section) making it very clear when the event takes place.
• Activity open and close dates have been removed from the sidebar on the overview page, though they remain visible to the admin on the dashboard so there isn't any confusion with multiple dates being presented. If you want to include the closing date, then include it in the Event overview text.

Thanks page

• Calendar .ics link to quickly add event to their calendar.
• Date and time of event is automatically pulled onto that page - no need to enter it again!
• Sign up again link which takes the respondent back to the start in case they want to register multiple people.
